The senior Associated Press photojournalist based in Washington, where he started with AP in 1981, Scott Applewhite has traveled the world covering wars and other major news events, but has always found time to help colleagues, especially young ones. He shared two Pulitzer Prizes with AP colleagues for feature photography in 1998 and 1993, was a Pulitzer finalist with another team, and won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the White House News Photographers Association. His photo of a Jan. 6 attacker looking through the shattered glass door of the House chamber, with pistols pointed at him, won first place for spot news in Pictures of the Year. A native of Elizabethtown and a graduate of Western Kentucky University, he worked for The (Henderson) Gleaner, The Courier-Journal and the Palm Beach Post before joining AP.
